The seahorse was the perfect spot for our stint in Santa Cruz. Our first time there the house was steps to the beach, volleyball courts, and restaurants. The house was very clean, could hear the crashing waves, and appointed with beach chairs and boogie boards too. We can’t wait to come back!

We rented this house in June 2021 and loved it so much we returned to ring in 2023. There were 6 of us in our party and the house comfortably accommodated all of us with plenty of space. You can’t beat the location of this home. Only steps from the beach and able to hear the waves crashing at night when falling asleep. The kitchen is fully outfitted for making family dinners, decor is on point, and the patio in the front is perfect for watching the waves.

This property really is awesome. The location is steps from the ocean, has a great patio in front with a view of the ocean and the entire upper level of the home has varying views of the beach. The bedrooms are all large and comfortable. There is plenty of space for everyone to eat and hang out. The furniture is comfortable and the television in the living room is enormous. The kitchen is decently-sized and has everything you need to make meals with your family and the back patio has a nice grill. The owner is incredible communicative and helpful. The location is also excellent, steps from the beach and a short walk from a couple restaurants. It's a short walk from a lighthouse, several other scenic beaches and about a 20-25 minute walk from the boardwalk and wharf. Lastly the property has all of the fine details covered....the linens are high quality and comfortable and the entire place is very clean. The artwork and entire beach feel of the interior is well done as well.

Owner was very communicative. The property has great views of the beach and the ocean. If your group likes to walk, making it to the lighthouse is a good goal. Property is a block from the beach and a block from the fire pits on the beach, which is the only place you can have fires on the beach. Overall great property and great location. Property is very spacious inside and out. Between the beach and on-site seating there are plenty of spaces to gather with your group and just hang out. Including the fire pit in the back… s’mores.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! We will definitely be back!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, this is one of the best rentals you can find in Santa Cruz. Two houses away from the beach, walking distance to Crows Nest and Johnnys Harborside (which has amazing fresh catch of the day fish), clean and tastefully decorated. The hosts are on top of it and communication is a breeze. Looking forward to our trip back next year!

Wonderful!

Exactly as advertised. Nice large convivial LR arrangement for socializing. Perfect size dining room table for 6-8. Good kitchen. Comfortable beds.

The house and location were perfect, could have only been better if we could have stayed longer!

The check in process was a breeze, just steps from the beach, great views, very clean! All the amenities to be on vacation but also feel right at home.

The house was very nice, perhaps just a bit dated. All facilities were as advertised. There was no cable TV, but there was a Roku. Overall, a very nice experience.

My family has been going to this house for years and love the location and close access to the beach. The house is also close to several places to eat and stores are within walking distance. The owner is a great communicator and the house is comfortable and clean.

Great property, great owner, great experience. Brian was such a good host and his property was perfect for a quick family get away. Definitely recommend.

Loved the house! SO close to the beach with lifeguards on duty. Felt very safe! Easy walking distance to shops and the beach. My only complaint was that the floors were very dusty making walking barefoot nasty. Some of the dishes were dirty and we found old candy wrappers under the bed. They need a better cleaning staff. Bring your own spices and cooking oil. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We loved our stay at Seahorse Ranch! The house was well appointed, clean and comfortable. The location is great - just 4 houses from the beach with great views. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We hope to stay again in the future!

My family and I have stayed at this home in early July for three years. Now my teenage grandsons walk by themselves to the Boardwalk and then join the family at the beach in the afternoon. We all enjoy the nearby restaurants and views from the front porch and upstairs living area.
